Name: Pepper
Case Number: #8475
My name is Pepper and I am a playful, friendly little dude who is looking for my forever home.
I love just about everyone I meet and I enjoy playing with people. Although I’m not terribly playful with toys now, I may become more so once I'm out of the shelter I'm staying in and inside a home.
I’m comfortable with all types of handling and will readily share my food with people.
I get a little scared of unusual new things and people, so I may choose to hide behind you. I look to my human companion for direction. My adopters will need to patiently introduce me to new experiences that concern me so that I can get more comfortable with them.
I am very playful with other dogs, am very respectful of them, and will enjoy their company immensely.
I don't know any basic commands but I'm eager to learn for a taste of my favorite treats! I definitely need to learn to walk nicely on leash and not to be jumpy. Training may help build my confidence and will help us forge a relationship.
If you are interested in adopting Pepper, please contact the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter at 516-785-5220 or email animalinfo@tohmail.org for more information.
The shelter is located at 3320 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh. Adoption hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. All adopted pets will be spayed or neutered, will receive all required inoculations and will be microchipped, all free of charge.
Many loveable cats and dogs can also be taken home – at no charge – during the shelter’s “My Furry Valentine” pet adoption event on Saturday, Feb. 16 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The School board is a bunch of morons if they want to remove this designation! There were 0 problems…Read More like this when Malucci was in office, this new superintendent is a waste of space, money, and cares more about his own paycheck then our kids! Between school security, and now this, I motion that we get rid of that skell!

Bless you, Anthony. And though I know ultimately the "Judge" will have to be held…Read More accountable by a higher authority...those of us who do this work, have not forgotten nor will we allow the system to forget what her role in this travesity was.

Thank you for this wonderful article on a good man pushed to the brink. I appriciate the fact this…Read More came form the heart and did not hold back. As Sacristan at Cure of Ars, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rich (as I called him) for some time. He was a man of faith and a pleasure to see. Always with a smile and kind word, you would never know what was going on the way he acted. This was a wonderful and insightful article. It is heartbreaking to think that where there was once love between 2 people, things got to the point where one persons life was destroyed by those who could and did for no apparent reason other than having the ability to do so. God will have mercy on Dr. Rich and the ex-wife and "Judge" should pray for the same given their actions.
